Sheffield Wednesday will be without two key players for their massive match at Blackburn Rovers this weekend.

John Eustace's side can secure their Championship status for next season with three points. A draw and Rovers' superior goal difference to those around them would arguably be enough too, albeit not mathematically.

For Wednesday, the match is must-win to keep their survival hopes alive. Their chances haven't been helped by the absence of defender Di'Shon Bernard and attacker Ian Poveda, who won't be fit for the trip to Ewood Park this weekend.

"It’s nearly the same squad, nobody comes back at the moment - but we still have two days to go. 

"That’s new, it’s normally one day, but we have two until Sunday. I’m not sure that anyone comes back, so it’ll be the same players available - I have to now select a squad.

“Hopefully Di’Shon (Bernard) is back before the end of the season, the same with Ian (Poveda), but we’ll see. 

"Di’Shon I’m hoping in the week, but it’s day to day and we’ll try to get him back on the grass. It’d be helpful to have both available, but my focus is on the players that are available."

John Eustace will provide an update on Scott Wharton this afternoon when he meets the press at 1pm.
